She was super friendly, knowledgeable, responsive and asked many questions to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted the floral arrangement to be. Service was top notch! The floral arrangement was delivered quickly too! She kept me updated through texting which was super easy. She even sent a picture and a video of the arrangement that was sent! The flowers were fresh and gorgeous! Thank you!

I contacted Karen after finding her on a bridal Facebook group. Karen is the type of person who…read moreenjoys what she does and cares about her clients. She is quick in her responses and is the sweetest person to work with. What I loved most about Karen is her responsiveness and transparency from the beginning to end. Karen picks the freshest flowers and sets the right expectations when it comes to pick up. She also helps educate you on the flower seasonality and gives great suggestions. Upon pick up, everything was placed in water without me having to bring a bucket. This was extremely convenient since I had picked up the flowers a day prior to the wedding. This saved me one less stress and everything was nicely labeled for the groomsmen and parents. I would highly recommend and trust me if you live in the San Jose area she is worth the drive up to

This review is so long overdue - yet another thing I have to apologize to Karen about…read more If you're looking for a florist for anything, absolutely anything, just know that you don't have to look any further. If Karen has availability for your event, just book her. She is an absolute master at her craft, but also so humble, warm, genuine, prompt, efficient, and about every other positive adjective you can think of. My husband and I were married last January (2023) and I thought about going down the DIY path when the reality of wedding floral costs hit me square in the face. But then we were already DIYing other aspects of the wedding and I knew that one more thing, especially fragile things like flowers, was going to break me. Thankfully, another bride mentioned Karen and Fresh Petals in a Bay Area wedding Facebook group and I texted her right away. In this day and age you may be wary of businesses that don't have an online presence (website, social media, etc.), but Karen is so responsive and doesn't waste any time figuring out when you can meet at her home in Martinez to discuss the details. Do not let her lack of a digital footprint worry you. She has many photos of her work which is great if you need some inspiration. However, she doesn't push you to go with something she's done before. You can absolutely share your vision with her and she'll let you know what she can/can't do, and also alternatives or additions. One other thing to love is that she has built quite an inventory of items and she is more than happy to lend you things like vases for a deposit. At the end of our meeting with Karen, we simply gave her location and time information for our wedding venue and reception venue and she was there when we needed her to be. Our point people at the venues also commented to me later on on how helpful and personable she was when she came to drop off the arrangements. Now for the apology... there was miscommunication between me and the day-of coordinator and guests ended up getting the message that we were giving away the centerpieces. Seven of them were taken before we were able to reconcile on the messaging and give clarity - the floral arrangement was up for grabs, but not the centerpiece boxes as those were from Karen's inventory. To make matters worse, they were created by a former bride's husband and were a unique set of twenty. My husband and I managed to track down a number of the missing ones, but we ended up not being able to retrieve them all. Karen was disappointed, but still so gracious to me and I honestly feel so, so awful to this day. That said, make sure you're on the same page and very, very clear with coordinators, guests, etc. about what must be returned to Karen or any other vendor. In a nutshell - Karen is wonderful and you cannot go wrong with her on your team!

Fantastic Service and Stunning Arrangements…read more I've tried 1-800-Flowers in the past, and while they are okay, the arrangements often feel subpar for the price you pay. Jory's Flowers in Concord, CA, on the other hand, offers beautiful, healthy, and substantial arrangements for virtually the same price, if not better. I've ordered from Jory's several times and have always been pleased with their service and quality. Because of my busy schedule, I rarely have the chance to order in advance, but they always accommodate my same-day requests with ease. Just yesterday, on my 14th anniversary, I called Jory's and spoke with Nicole, their designer. I explained how busy I've been with work and family life, especially since my kids just started school and their soccer schedules are crazy. I needed something special delivered to my wife at work before she got off at 12:30 PM. Even though it was 10 AM when I called, Nicole assured me, "Don't worry, I got you." I placed the order online, and she immediately got to work. The flowers were delivered on time, and my wife was ecstatic--she even sent me a picture of the beautiful arrangement. Don't go corporate--support your local small businesses. Jory's staff is professional, fast, and always super gracious and appreciative of your business. Highly recommend!

Beautiful birthday flowers ... delivered a day late. When my relatives asked if I liked the…read moreflowers, I had to reply, "What flowers?" Delivery had been promised so it meant a hassle for relatives living 1,800 miles away. Jory's is closed on Mondays. Maybe that was the hang-up, but delivery had been promised. When they finally arrived, I was greeted with a "Sorry." The flowers were beautiful and so was the amber tone mosaic vase. (I am still enjoying the vase now filled with some dried fall flowers.) But here is where things get a bit strange. When I was rinsing out the vase, I noticed two stickers on the bottom. One said Mervyn's $39.99 and the other said Goodwill $8.99. Mervyn's closed many years ago so today's retail value of the vase would be much more. Who knows how it ended up at Goodwill and then made its way to Jory's. I don't have an issue with recycling from thrift stores. I do it myself. What was very odd to me was Jory's did not take a minute or two to remove the stickers. Very tacky. This would have been a five-star review if the flowers had arrived on time and in a vase that did not show its thrift store origins.
